We all know that moment when an innovation or idea pops into our heads on a very random day, or perhaps we might have seen a successful entrepreneur/ startup while passing by his place of business and begin to get ideas. There is usually a rush of excitement that comes with the thought of solving a problem and maybe becoming just as successful as that guy who has customers trooping into his shop. After the daydreaming and all the pumped-up wishes, many questions begin to arise and you begin to ask yourself, should I start up a business with this idea I have gotten? So, can this idea fetch me money? Can this startup grow into something big and impact lives? Could I someday have my own business and become rich?

As time goes on and you have decided on the business you want to go into more questions soon begin to arise such as, Where do I start from?, Do I have enough money for a capital?, Where and how can I get money? Am I smart enough as the likes of Steve Jobs and Zuckerberg?, What do I need to know? Are there any signs that would show if I am on the right track? Is there a laid-out formula for a successful startup?, How do I get it?. These questions are perfectly normal to ask, in fact, if you aren’t asking yourself these questions you aren’t on a positive start.

LAUNCHING A STARTUP

A Startup is similar to taking baby steps. Questions when starting up are an endless thread. Each time you try to answer a new question about building and developing your idea into a business, a pile of fresh questions falls on the table. Questions will never stop to flow especially when launching a startup and do you know why?

… Your heart knows you are about to take a risk!

Whenever we are about to take a big leap, we always want to be guaranteed a good landing. But as entrepreneurs, we must never take safety too serious. Too many questions will never let the work start and it will hinder the daring spirit of the entrepreneur. Just stick to answering the basic questions and be brave.

What you don’t know doesn’t have to be scary

You can’t answer every question. You can’t predict the future even if you ask a million questions today. Because you don’t know how the business will fare if you don’t start, doesn’t mean it will fail when you start. It is a learning process and an experiment. Don’t allow fear and inexperience in business make you rigid.

Trial and error are an important business skill that an entrepreneur must develop. With time, you will not fear the unknown and you will learn to grow with every unanswered question. Surmount this basic startup challenge. This is the path of the entrepreneur, embrace it!
